The general player base needs to improve

[Altena]

SE have been fighting this issue since release.

The issue is that they are trying to keep their game accessible to a wide audience to maximise business profits, while meeting the demands of players screaming "give us harder content".
It's only natural that a little (read: a lot) from column A, find themselves sneaking over into column B.

I am all for people trying as much of the game's content as they can.. However they should also recognise when they are the ones causing problems in the party and try and iron out those problems.

I would really love to see more added to the Hall of Novice. I personally found what was there to be really useful when I returned to the game.

Can't say everyone else actually learned anything from it... But I'll dream lol

I can say for sure that I still use the lessons that I've learned from the Hall of Novice today. Maybe not so much with picking one mob at a time because that meta has changed, but a lot of things in the Hall are still useful. Obviously with jump potions, there's a chance that players enter Susano not knowing what a stack marker is (which baffles me, because the Sirensong Sea dungeon hits you with these from the first boss. That needs to change.

I whole-heartedly agree with you on this.

I cannot stress this enough, my comments aren't really directed at learning parties - I mean, that's why these types of parties exist. But if, for example, after wiping on Hashmal for the first time, a player is told to stick with their alliance, they fail to ask any questions (even in the event that they are called out by name), and they are the reasons why one alliance keeps getting double stack markers, I'm talking about them. I don't mind FFXIV being casual...but there are still a whole bunch of players in even casual content who don't even do good at playing their chosen job.

When those individuals who fail to recognize their own mistakes within the game see my threads and get mad at me for saying this, I'm the elitist for pointing out that they are bad (not all, obviously, but a lot), then they go right out and become the sole reason why a group cannot clear a dungeon, or they continually die to the same thing over and over.
